One of the hot pieces of gossip on the Hollywood rumor mill: Beverly Hills, 90210 heartthrob Luke Perry may be leaving the hit Fox series after the first 11 episodes of next season. The prevailing wisdom going into this season was that it would be the finale for the series. However, ratings perked up and it is still Fox's most popular show - ahead of even The Simpsons - so it is coming back for at least another year. A source at the show says that Perry wasn't inclined to commit for another full season but he has agreed to appear in 11 episodes to allow for a smooth exit. Asked about the rumor, a publicist for Perry said on Wednesday, "We have no comment on that."A Fox spokeswoman also declined to comment.
